I started to get the feeling that since no one had the answer to my question, maybe I was asking the wrong question.

Thanks to those who replied. You helped me figure out where I made a few wrong assumptions.

I don't mess with procedures and functions much. A book I was using as a reference got me real confused with some examples that are clearly wrong -- procedures with return types specified. My procedure was using dbms_output.put_line to "return" a value, but that isn't really a return. It isn't surprising to me now that the Sitescope monitor couldn't deal with it.

I'm using a function now and it is working.
